8 Natural Deodorants That Won't Make You Smell Like A Tin Man

Probably the best-rated natural deodorant by a homegrown brand in India, the Juicy Chemistry Blood Orange and Geranium Deodorant's loyalists refuse to believe there could be anything better. This organic deodorant combines purifying clays and nourishing plant oils along with natural scents that neutralise body odour at the source to keep you fresh throughout the day. Since it's free from alcohol and aluminium, it is gentle on the underarm area.

Scent: Blood Orange and Geranium flower

Formulated with natural ingredients like arrowroot powder, coconut oil, and shea butter, The Bare Bar Vanilla Deodorant smells lovely! 100% vegan and cruelty-free, this natural deodorant does a fab job at controlling odour effectively. Also, the pan packaging makes it super easy to carry on the go or carry in your bag for travels. Oh, not to forget, the brand has a couple of other scents available like rose, patchouli, and Kashmiri lavender.

Scent: Vanilla

Bare Neccessities' natural deodorants have magnesium hydroxide which helps neutralise odour. This one in particular has a subtle floral scent and comes with a wooden applicator that makes it easy to apply. This one too has arrowroot powder which is primarily composed of starch and is great for absorbing moisture and keeping your armpits fresh.

Scent: Floral

The formula of this natural deodorant cream is aluminium, baking soda, and fragrance oil-free. With citric, woody, and musky notes, it contains orange, patchouli, and cedarwood essential oils to give it its gorgeous mild fragrance. Some of the other ingredients used for formulating are shea butter, mango butter, arrowroot powder, virgin coconut oil, magnesium hydroxide, hemp seed oil, kaolin clay, soya, and zinc oxide.

A cool find we thank our mindless Instagram scrolls for, Necessary's Natural Roll On is a clean, non-toxic deodorant made with natural ingredients that offer 24-hour odour protection. They currently sell only two fragrances: Aloe Vera & Cucumber and White Musk, with the latter being our favourite! The formula is free from aluminum, alcohol, silicone, and bicarbonate of soda so it doesn't harm sensitive skin to keep you fresh while also helping with discolouration and bumps.

Scent: White musk

The Sol de Janeiro Rio Deo Cheirosa 62 Aluminum-Free Deodorant has 98% naturally derived formula. It does have strearyl alcohol and added fragrance which takes away that 2% but apart from these, it has only natural goodness like citric acid ester which is a naturally derived ester that helps block enzymes that cause body odour and neutralises the bacteria that cause the odour too, papaya enzyme for gentle exfoliation, coconut oil for moisturisation and antimicrobial benefits, Brazilian bacuri butter and mango seed butter that help promote a strong skin barrier while calming the skin and adding to that yummy gourmand scent and finally, tapioca starch for absorbing excess moisture.

Scent: Pistachio and salted caramel

This one too has a 98% natural formulation and is free from aluminium, alcohol, silicone, and bicarbonate of soda. It has Cauadalie's beloved organic grape water at the core of its formula for a soothing, prebiotic, and hydrating action on the skin. Organic eucalyptus gives it a fresh scent while also fighting off odour-causing bacteria. Additionally, it is safe for skin made fragile by hair removal.

Scent: Eucalyptus and grape

This one is made with 95% natural ingredients and 5% essential oils to lend it the fragrance. Free from aluminium or triclosan, it claims to keep odour at bay with the deodorant’s 'sweat-control feature'. The 'Sweet Summer' scent has notes of vanilla and coconut which sounds like a dream while you have two other options with citrus and aquatic notes to choose from.

Scent: Vanilla and coconut
